Sabbatical Presents: Justice Yeldham

Globe-trotting glass eater Lucas Abela has made a career out of exploring the extreme side of sound. First it was with turntables attached to saw horses with sewing machine motors, briefly Freddy Krugger-styled record needle gloves, then it was a contact mic'd trampoline. For the last few years, under the guise of Justice Yeldham, it's been glass.

Starting each performance with a large sheet of glass, a contact mic and an array of effect pedals. Performances last as long as the glass can withstand the pressure of Mr Abela's face.

Sabbatical is proud to present this rare Justice Yeldham performance as Mr Abela stops over in Melbourne on his way to who knows where.

KIPL custodians and all-round excellent gents Wife will kick off proceedings, followed by the interminable noise assault of Fucked. Offering a welcome respite, Miles Brown & Shags Chamberlain will cleanse the aural palette with their theremin and synth explorations.

Finally, Justice Yeldham will perform on a couch. Seriously, that was his only rider request - a couch to perform on.

It's an early start for an early end. It is a Monday night after all.

Sabbatical Presents: Aux Assembly

For one night only Sabbatical is proud to present the welcome return of Aux Assembly. It has been almost a year since the last performance by the duo - a pairing of Elise Bishop and Dimitra Bucolo - one of the first and most popular artists to be released on Sabbatical.

The show is the fortuitous result of Elise briefly returning to Australia coinciding with significant progress in Dimitra's recovery, which was ably assisted by contributions from the recent benefit show at the Corner. Seeing the group back in action is a truly exciting prospect.

The inviting surrounds and friendly folk of KIPL will play host to event that includes a range of local noise makers and one Kiwi guest.

NO P.A Presents: Makiko Yamamoto, Don’t Laugh Show

Hi It is time to have a fun night!
One night event, This coming Friday

Don’t Laugh Show

Date: Friday 4 th March 2011

Place: KIPL, 136 Roden St, West Me lbourne

Time: Door opens at 7:00 pm

Explanation of the show

“Target” (Three chosen performers, Samaan Fieck, Kishore Ryan

and Chris Dolman), which is physically and mentally quite hard. What they

have to do during the show is to watch various performers (I will call

performers Gagsters) and role of Target is NOT TO LAUGH. The Gagsters

will perform in front of Target and for them to make them laugh. If Target

laugh during the performance, they will get a punishment by team Punisher,

which will be a smack on the bottom each time they laugh. A punishment

will not create too much pain but it will be enough to say pain.

This show is a part of NO P A project by KIPL. The show will be

the appropriation of Japanese TV program Don’t Laugh 24 hours by Down

Town (Gakino tsukai ya arahende). Makiko Yamamoto who is practicing visual

artist based in Melbourne, is curating this show to experiment in the possibility

of use of gallery with visual and sounds artists to activate the space and

also challenging how much we can be unintelligent through the form of art.
